Background

The prior audit, completed in 2018, resulted in 49 recommendations and LIPA and PSEG LI were required by the LIPA Board of Trustees to implement these recommendations to ensure an improved level of service to electric customers on Long Island.
The current DPS management and operations audit of LIPA and PSEG LI will be completed by NorthStar Consulting Group Inc.

The audit will review and evaluate the overall operations and management of LIPA and PSEG LI with the ultimate goal of improving existing processes, practices, systems, and organizational structures to drive better performance based on the scope areas below.
